There are many sides to every story.
When I first read about this case, it seemed strange to me that the dogs were euthanized without it being medically necessary. They were described as thin, but not starving. Even young pups were killed. This suggests that "convenience" took priority over any genuine concern about the well-being of the dogs.
This new story adds more suspicious information about the case. If what Archie Beaulieu says is true, the death of these dogs was not only a matter of convenience, but also a political act, where those in power played a grim card against those who are powerless.
